BRIEFLY

SPIDEY TREASURY: Marvel Comics has announced a June release for Spidey: All-New Treasury Edition Vol. 1, the publisher's return to the oversized tabloid format.

The book will reprint the first five issues of Spidey, by Robbie Thompson and Nick Bradshaw.

"Nick Bradshaw's work on Spidey practically leaps off the page," said David Gabriel, Marvel's SVP sales and marketing. "We knew we had to do something special for fans of this series. And since Robbie Thompson does such a wonderful job of capturing the early days of Peter Parker’s super hero career, we though Spidey was the perfect title to bring back this classic comic format."
